Its more than 17 seasons of existence have established the 7DAYS EuroCup as a consistently compelling competition in which to see players blossom over the arcs of their careers.<\/p>\n
One such star is guard Kyle Kuric, who reached the EuroCup Finals with Herbalife Gran Canaria in 2014-15, survived a brain tumor and was three times named to the All-EuroCup Second Team.<\/p>\n
Here are some of the facts that make Kyle a true EuroCup all-timer!<\/p>\n
Kuric made his EuroCup debut in 2014-15 with Herbalife Gran Canaria of Spain?<\/p>\n
He played four seasons in the competition with two different teams from two different countries? His second EuroCup club was Zenit St Petersburg of Russia.<\/p>\n
Kuric played a major role in Gran Canaria reaching the EuroCup Finals in 2014-15? They lost to Khimki Moscow Region in the finals.<\/p>\n
He averaged 15.5 points – including 7-of-13 (53.8 percent) from long range – in the finals against Khimki?<\/p>\n
Kuric was diagnosed with a brain tumor in November 2015 and missed the rest of the 2015-16 season after brain surgery?<\/p>\n
He also appeared in the EuroCup quarterfinals in 2016-17 (with Gran Canaria) and 2017-18 (Zenit)?<\/p>\n
His career-high performance index rating was 40 for Zenit against Fiat Turin on January 10, 2018, when he tallied 28 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 6 fouls drawn?<\/p>\n
Kuric\u2019s career scoring record is 31 points for Zenit versus FC Bayern Munich on January 17, 2018?<\/p>\n
He ranked second in three-pointers made (61) and attempted (132) in 2014-15; second in threes made (49) and sixth in attempts (98) in 2016-17; and third in triples made (52) and second in attempts (120) in 2017-18?<\/p>\n
Of his 62 games, Kuric connected on at least 3 three-pointers in 36 games (58.1 percent of his appearances) while hitting at least 5 triples in eight games and twice draining 6 threes in a single game?<\/p>\n
He played in 62 EuroCup games and scored 905 points, which ranks 26th all-time and gives him a scoring average of 14.6 points? A remarkably consistent player, Kuric’s lowest-scoring season was 13.8 points per game.<\/p>\n
Kuric connected on 174 of 372 three-pointers, ranking him fifth and 15th all-time, respectively with those stats. His 46.8% career three-point shooting is 11th all-time and fourth among players with at least 60 games played?<\/p>\n
His other career averages are 2.9 rebounds and 1.3 assists?<\/p>\n
Kuric was named to the All-EuroCup Second Team in 2014-15, 2016-17 and 2017-18?<\/p>\n
He was three times named the EuroCup’s weekly MVP – in Rounds 1 and 2 in 2016-17 and Round 2 of the Top 16 in 2017-18?<\/p>\n
Kuric was the 2017-18 EuroCup Top 16 MVP after averaging 22.5 points and 3.5 rebounds while hitting 24 of 42 threes (57.1%) and 31 of 33 free throws (93.9%) in that stage?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
